Doughnut shop blasted over charity drive for needy family — because it asked Salvation Army to help

A popular doughnut shop in Maine came under fire over its holiday charity drive for a needy local family — all because it asked the Salvation Army to connect the shop with children who could use warm clothing and presents.

The Holy Donut in Portland noted on its Facebook page that it asked the Salvation Army to provide kids’ ages and sizes. The shop added that it asked customers to contribute in exchange for free doughnuts or a Holy Donut T-shirt and that it figured the whole thing “would be fun and feel great.”

Not so much.

“When we posted this gift drive on social media, many people alerted us that there are allegations that Salvation Army discriminates against the LGBT community,” the post continued.

Indeed, commenters wrote that the Salvation Army has a “history of turning away LGBT people and supporting anti-LGBT laws” and engages in “active homophobia.”

But the Salvation Army’s website statement says such discrimination allegations are false and that “we do not pick and choose who we serve based on religion, sexual orientation or any other factor.”
